>>Michael Lamoureux, R-Russellville, says he expects Darr's four staff members to continue to work in the office.<.what a Rip-Off. The staff does nothing but serve the Lt Gov. This amounts to the Republican Party having FOUR Government-Paid Political operatives on the government payroll.

1) The state taxpayer need not provide a four-person staff to handle requests of a person who doesn't exist.

2) A person who doesn't exist has no constituents.

This is Republican boodling, no more or less. A quarter-of-a-million deadheading, featherbedding, welfare checks to people who happen to be part of the Republican coterie, notably Rep. Duncan Baird's father-in-law, Bruce Campbell, at the top of the heap.

Adds one writer:

The good ol' taxpayers of Arkansas, who are already owed several thousands of dollars for Darr's malfeasance, will now have to hand out another quarter million or so in gubmint cash and benefits to four Tea Party in-laws who will spend the next year or so getting paid for surfing the Net.

For Pack. Someone posted this note about how to remove the Lite Gov's office:

With his "supreme executive power" granted by the Arkansas Constitution, perhaps Gov. Beebe can terminate the positions with due notice after the office is declared vacant.

In the meantime, as a constitutent of the state, maybe you can call those four guys up and see if they'll come help do yardwork, chop wood, clear fields, etc. Remember: you too can help put a welfare king on the stright path to honest work!
